The microwave spectrum is usually defined as a range of frequencies ranging from 1 GHz to over 100 GHz . This range has been divided into a number of frequency bands, each represented by a letter. There are a number of organizations that assign these letter bands.
Read moreWhat is microwave frequency bands?
Microwave Frequency Bands. Microwave signals are often divided into three categories: ultra high frequency (UHF) (0.3-3 GHz); super high frequency (SHF) (3-30 GHz); and. extremely high frequency (EHF) (30-300 GHz).

i) Because of their high operating frequencies , microwave system can carry large quantities of information. ii) High frequencies mean short wavelength, which require relatively small antennas. iii) Microwave signals are more easily propagated around physical obstacles such as water and high mountains.
